The Gaffney Room is an exceptional space with the project successfully delivered by a cohesive team. It forms an integral part of our organisation and provides a valuable facility for The Bar of Ireland and it’s members

— Ciara Murphy, Director of The Bar of Ireland

Located within the overall footprint of the Distillery Building, which has been re-developed in recent years to accommodate the 'Law Library'.

This free standing stone & brick structure dating back to c. 1810, once served as a stables & whiskey barrel store on the first floor.

The building is positioned in close proximity to protected structures and is partly located in a conservation area.

The exposed stock brick walls were sand blasted, lime re-pointed and sealed to reinvigorate the character of the original brickwork.

There was a need to create a flexible space that could facilitate CPD events, meetings, seminars / conferences and a unique function / banqueting venue.

The refurbishment & fit-out included the construction of a new independent structural floor serving as both a fire break and acoustic layer between the ground & new 1st floor.

The new facility has been branded 'The Gaffney Room' named after Maurice Gaffney, the law library's oldest practicing barrister, until his passing in Oct. 2016. His memory & inspiration live on.
